If only your 61 year old tractor could talk.... my 56' 400 with fast hitch does not have the check valve set up I am seeing on other tractors from internet pics. Help me confirm what I think I am seeing , the hard lines coming along the deck and thru the battery box have the check valve mounted to it. So the hard lines I have with no side ports for o-ring connection to the check valve can't be used or just what is the program here???? Can the two plugs on the side of the block be removed to connect a check valve? How vital is the check valve?? My estimation is it would be vital if I want to do any real lifting with my fast hitch as either a 2 point or in a 3 point set up. Opinions and advice please and thank you!

Two plugs are removed and longer bolts used through block that mount lines to battery box. O rings go between blocks. Check keeps fluid from bypassing the control valve and letting hitch drift down. If the hydraulic cylinder on hitch is in good condition it will hold a implement raised for a long time.

It's vital if you don't want the hitch to leak down while the tractor sits, if there is any weight on it. IMHO it's probably best to lower any implement to the ground.
